Definitions

• the present invention concerns a crosslinker and a method of cross-linking a coating binder polymer having at least two carboxylic acid groups.
• the cross-linking mechanism has proceeded materially before film formation has been substantially completed, the overall film formation process will be compromised and the resultant film will be weak and porous with the result that the protective functions of the film will be severely impaired.
• heat may be used to assist cross-linking after film formation is complete. However, in many cases, heat is not available so the cross-linking mechanism is desirably triggered under ambient conditions before film formation is complete.
• XAMA-7 An example of a known good performance cross-linker for coating formulations is a product sold under the trade name of XAMA-7 (supplied by EIT Inc).
• XAMA-7 essentially consists of three connected aziridine groups. While XAMA-7 displays good cross-linking performance it does suffer from an important draw back. It is very toxic. It therefore has to be handled with the utmost of care. This is clearly undesirable.
• EP-A-0198343 discloses certain aromatic polycarbodiimides, an essential feature of which are sulfonate groups, but does not disclose the desirability of or the method by which the confounding effect of the sulphonated groups may be eliminated.
• the present invention seeks to overcome the problems associated with the prior art cross-linkers.
• the present invention seeks to provide a relatively non-toxic cross-linker having a good performance in coatings, in particular aqueous coatings.
• a method of crosslinking a coating binder polymer bearing at least two carboxylic acid groups comprising admixing the above aromatic polycarbodiimide with the coating binder polymer.
• the coating binder polymer is preferably a film-forming coating formulation.
• Film forming coating formulations include paints, sealants, nonwoven fabric binders, leather coatings, and adhesives.
• an aqueous dispersion of an aromatic polycarbodiimide of the first aspect of the invention is provided.
• a water dispersible, polyether-terminated aromatic polycarbodiimide is provided.
• an aromatic polycarbodiimide as defined in any one of the preceding claims comprising reacting an aromatic isocyanate, preferably a polyisocyanate more preferably an aromatic diisocyanate, which may be the same or different, with a suitable reactant to form the aromatic polycarbodiimide.
• An advantage of the present invention is that the aromatic polycarbodiimides are relatively non-toxic.
• a further advantage is that the cross-linking process is much slower than that of the prior art aliphatic carbodiimide systems. It is believed that the cross-linking process may be approximately fifty times slower. The cross-linking process is slow enough for substantially all of it to occur during or after film formation with the result that a number of important requirements for a good coating, such as mar resistance, are greatly improved. The crosslinking is also fast enough to be useful in an ambiently cured film in a typical industrial or architectural use.
• the water solubility of the aromatic polycarbodiimides can be tailored to suit individual needs, for example by incorporating surfactant groups.
• the compatibility of the aromatic polycarbodiimides with specific polymer (or resin) systems can be tailored to suit individual needs, for example by incorporating suitable compatibilising groups.
• pendent or terminal phenyl groups make the aromatic polycarbodiimides suitable for use with polyester based polymers; whereas pendant or terminal polyether groups make the aromatic polycarbodiimides suitable for use with acrylic polymers.
• the present invention therefore rests in the discovery and recognition of a new use of aromatic polycarbodiimides as well as in the preparation of new aromatic polycarbodiimides.
• publications such as US-A-5126422, EP-B-0231509, US-A-3450562, and US-A-2941983
• none of those documents specifically suggests or reports the use of aromatic polycarbodiimides as cross-linkers.
• US-A-4612054 which discloses carbodiimide driers for resin coating compositions.
• the aromatic polycarbodiimide according to the present invention is water-soluble or readily emulsifiable in the presence of water.
• the aromatic polycarbodiimide is very effective as a cross-linking agent for carboxyl-containing, water borne polymers or resins (e.g. emulsion-polymerized acrylic polymer).
• the carboxyl-containing polymers may be totally or partially neutralised with a suitable base.
• the polycarbodiimide is also an effective cross-linking agent for other polymers based on epoxides, polyesters, and polyurethanes.
• the aromatic polycabodiimides according to the present invention may be used as a cross-linker in any water-borne or solvent-borne thermoset coating application.
• the aromatic polycarbodiimide includes at least one substituted arylene group, preferably being derived from an aromatic polyisocyanate.
• the aromatic polycarbodiimide has from 4 to 10 aromatic carbodiimide groups, preferably 5 to 7 groups. More preferably, the aromatic polycarbodiimide has 7 carbodiimide groups.
• the aromatic polycarbodiimide may therefore have the following formula
• Another aromatic polycarbodiimide according to the present invention has the following formula
• the aromatic polycarbodiimides according to the present invention are prepared by polymerising aromatic mono-, di, or tri-functional isocyanates.
• Aromatic polycarbodiimides prepared by the condensation polymerization of diisocyanate with phospholene oxide catalyst are susceptible to thickening over the course of time. This thickening makes it increasingly difficult to prepare formulations containing the polycarbodiimide and eventually renders the product unusable for some purposes. It has been found that including certain stabilizers, in an amount effective to reduce the tendency of an aromatic polycarbodiimides to thicken, in the preparation of aromatic polycarbodiimides, extends their useful lifetime.
• stabilizers examples include hindered phenols such as tetrakis(methylene 3-(3',5'-di-tert-butyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl)proponate) methane (marketed as IRGANOX 1010; IRGANOX is a trademark of Ciba-Geigy Corp.) and 2,4-dimethyl-6-t-butyl phenol (marketed as AO-30 by Ciba-Geigy Corp.); and hindered nitroxyls such as 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl- 1 -oxy.
• hindered phenols such as tetrakis(methylene 3-(3',5'-di-tert-butyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl)proponate) methane (marketed as IRGANOX 1010; IRGANOX is a trademark of Ciba-Geigy Corp.) and 2,4-dimethyl-6-t-buty
• the coating formulation may be free of organic solvent. Or the coating formulation may contain a coalescing solvent.
• the coating formulation may contain typical coating additives such as binders, fillers, defoamers, other cross-linkers, catalysts, surfactants, stabilisers, anti-flocculants, pigments and suitable solvents, such as water-miscible solvents or even water.
• the coating may also contain typical additives that are used for the specific end purpose, such as a tackifier in adhesives.
• the coating binder polymer (or resin) can be selected according to the criteria generally skilled in the art of coating compositions.
• the coating comprises a polymer (or resin) prepared from at least one of the following monomers: an ethylenically-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid such as (meth)acrylic acid; an (meth)acrylic ester monomer including long chain (meth)acrylates, such as methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, propyl (meth)acrylate, isopropyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, secondary butyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, pentyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, heptyl (meth)acrylate, octyl (meth)acrylate, isooctyl (meth)acrylate,
• the coating binder polymer contains at least two carboxylic acid groups.
• the polymer has an acid number of from 5 to 100, preferably from 10 to 85, more preferably from 15 to 45, more preferably from 20 to 40.
• the binder polymer is a stryene acrylic polymer, preferably with an acid number of from 10 to 85, more preferably from 15 to 45, more preferably from 20 to 40.
• the aromatic polycarbodiimide is a cross-linker for wood coatings, especially water-borne wood coatings.
• the aromatic polycarbodiimide can also be a cross-linker for maintenance coatings, metal primers and coatings, woven and nonwoven textile coatings, leather coatings, coil coatings, architectural coatings, mastics, sealants, caulks, board coatings, paper coatings, plastics coatings and adhesives.
• the present invention therefore provides an aromatic polycabodiimide cross-linker which cross-links a coating formulation during or after film formation and so does not materially impair the quality of film formation.
